Two months in the Netherlands!

Today I realized that I’ve been living in the Netherlands for two months! My arrival here feels like ages ago, yet I never got a big culture shock, unlike in France. There will possibly be some surprises coming up though! Right now, the only annoying thing I’ve found about living here is the fact that the stores don’t accept credit cards. Otherwise life has been pretty easy, especially because the locals speak English!

I find the Dutch people extremely helpful and friendly. There are several situations where I’ve needed help, but never even managed to open my mouth about it because someone has already noticed me and run over to help! The locals really take good care of us foreigners and some have even offered me their e-mail addresses in case I come up with questions about doing things in Dutch.

The internship is also going well. I am learning a lot and starting to settle in the company’s culture. Along with all the hard work I have the amazing possibility to do all kinds of sports! Indoor hockey, gym training and running are my favorite sports right now, but I hope to try something new soon.
